15 Minute Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites Recipe

I’ve been keeping something from you… I’ve been cooking from a cookbook I received a couple months ago so regularly that I’ve almost forgotten how to cook without it!

Mary Younkin, from the food blog Barefeet in the Kitchen, has written the most amazing and practical cookbook for busy families called The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook. This cookbook is so practical I’ve turned to it when I’m in a dinner time pinch so many times, but have failed to take the time and photograph any of the meals we’ve made, until now.

Let me introduce you to one of my favorite recipes from Mary’s cookbook, Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites. I’ve used this 15 minute recipe time and time again over the past couple of months. It’s become a favorite in our rotation, loved by my husband and I as well as our kids.

Other recipes from Mary’s cookbook we’ve loved are:

What I love best about The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook is you’ll find each recipe categorized by the amount of time they take to make. If you know you have 30-45 minutes, you might try the Chile and Cheese Stuffed Chicken. Only 15 minutes? Sweet and Spicy Salmon with Broccoli will do. In addition, you can find a selection of meals that require little prep and then spend all day cooking in the slow cooker. There’s something for everyone, no matter how full your weeknights are!

Although the recipes in Mary’s cookbook don’t need a thing changed, you know I like to add my own touch to recipes when I try them. For this recipe, I added zucchini, eliminated the green onions and doubled the amount of peppers and sauce for a little more kick. I served the Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites over steamed cauliflower rice (which you know is my favorite).

The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook is a kitchen must have for anyone who loves to cook from scratch, values their family eating together at dinner, but doesn’t have a ton of time to cook on busy weeknights. I promise you’ll get a lot of use out of this great cookbook if you buy it! It’s available to purchase on Amazon, which you can do by clicking here.

I hope you enjoy the Sweet Chipotle Chicken Bites recipe as much as we have!

Kristen, your review made me grin so big. I am thrilled that you are enjoying the cookbook. These chicken bites are truly one of my favorite recipes in the book. Your photos are awesome and now I want to make this chicken with zucchini just as soon as possible. (FYI – it’s great with broccoli too!) I appreciate your support so much, my friend.
